IMPROVEMENT IN PARLOR STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 4 1.222. dated September 13, 1864.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that we, JAMEs SANGSTER and Amos W. SANGSTER, of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of our invention consists in providing the stove with a tube passing up from the bottom through the center to the top, with a movable grate, the center of which surrounds the tube, and a removable sitter, the center of which forms the lower part of the tube; also, in providing the upper part of the stove with an oven, which bakes or cooks by the heat which is generated within the tube which passes up through the tire in the center of the stove; also, in so constructing the top of the stove that the hot air, when not used for baking or cooking, is thrown down 3 Ward and through the room.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use our invention, we will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

We construct our stove of the usual materials, cast and sheet iron, or cast-iron alone.

The same letters in Figures 1, 2, 8, and 4, represent similar parts in each.

Fig. 1 represents a section view out down i vertically through the stove, showing the 1 tube in the center, the oven, the grate, and i the sifter. Fig. 2 isa side elevation of the stove complete; Fig. 3, the grate and Fig. 4 1 is the sifter.

In Fig. 1, A is the cover. I is a light-refleeting surface made of tin-plate. This cover 1%,) between which the air has afree passage, as shown by the arrows. I3 is the cover which is used while baking. I) is a platform upon which bread or other articles to be cooked or baked are placed. This platform also stands upon legs to allow a passage for the air. E is the outside casing of the stove. G- is the coal-chamber. O is a perforated case surrounding the fire-box. (Itis shown more plainly in Fig. 2.) H is the grate upon which the coal is placed. K is the bottom of the stove,

and L the legs. F is the tube, which passes through the center of the fire and stove. l is the sifter. It can be taken out at any time to sift the ashes and cinders that drop through the grate. J is a tube which is fastened to the center of the sieve. S is a flange which projects down from the bottom of the tube F. This flange is made something in the shape of a horseshoe. (More plainly seenin Fig. 5.) hen the sitter is placed in the stove, the tube J slips under the tube F and completes the tube through the stove. In slipping under the tube F, the tube J passes into the flange S, as plainly shown in Fig. 5. It is thus easily disconnected.

In Fig. 2, U is the door. V is the damper. N, the handle to the grate, by which it is moved while shaking outthe ashes. (Itis more plainly seen in Fig. 3. This handle is covered up when the damper is in its place. M is the handle to the sieve, which is more clearly seen in. Fig. 4. Its operation is simple. The firesurrounding the tube F creates a draft upward through the center of thestove and carries with it part of the heat (which is generally wasted) from the center of the fire and distributes it through the room or within an oven for cooking or other purposes. W and W is an additional tube, which passes up the side of the stove and connects with the center tube near the top part of the stove. Wrepresents that tube in Fig. 3. The stove can be used either with or without this tube W. X is a damper at the bottom of the tube J in the center of the sieve. This regulates the draft of air up through the stove. Y is a l damper for the same purpose in the tube W.

These dampers are made in the usual way.

\Vhat we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The central tube, F, passing through the stove, with a flange at its bottom, as shown in Fig. 5, also the tube J, which. forms the center of the sieve and continues the tube F down through the bottom of the stove by connecting with it at the bottom, as shown in Fig. 5, by means of the flange S, also the funnel shape of the upper part of the tube F, as shown at Z, also the tube W W, as shown and described.

2. The cover A, standing upon legs, as detube \V. a
